The Gates of Tehera
Tehera is a seemingly normal community in the state of Washington, which boasts the perfect citizens. What the people outside this town don’t know is that the residents aren’t what they seem. The most unearthly creatures dwell here, many choosing to abide by the centuries-old Treaty that allows them to walk amongst humans so long as they are not harmed.
In recent weeks, that Treaty has come close to being broken. Someone new is in town and hell-bent on either wreaking havoc on Tehera or exposing the supernatural society. Or perhaps both. Question is … who is it and what personal vendetta do they hold against Tehera?
Races
Humans – Dominating Tehera, they drew up the Treaty to make peace with the supernatural beings that dwelled into town centuries ago. Humans have no special abilities and are generally ordinary. However, because of this, they are vulnerable to and attract mystical energies. Some of them know of the existence of the other creatures around them, but due to the two centuries elapsing since the Treaty’s establishment, humans are becoming unaware of their presence.
Psychics – Although they appear to be human, they possess many mental abilities and have an extrasensory perception than most of the other creatures. Psychics are rare in modern times, although some primarily exist in Tehera because of the spiritual power circling it. Their eyes contain a small drop of purple, which identify them as psychics. Their powers include telekinesis and telepathy, but they can continue to develop more as they progress.
Witches – Dating back to hundreds of years ago, witches also appear to be human like psychics. However, their spell casting abilities have caused the town to fear them. Many of them hid in Tehera after the Salem Witch Trials and the forging of the Treaty. Like psychics, they can blend in easily with the rest of society. They are generally found in covens, led by a High Priestess, and possess a Book of Shadows. Their abilities include spell casting, projecting illusions of themselves and others.
Vampires – Looking more beautiful and feeling colder than humans, most vampires are generally serene in Tehera and would prefer to live peacefully amongst the other races. Despite what the legends say, a vampire is born from the poison from the fangs of another when it is injected into any part of their body. Their immortality has led them to remember the Treaty in Tehera. Their abilities include superhuman strength and speed and enhanced senses of smell, hearing and sight.
Werewolves – They were originally genetic until a complex magic spell infected several of them, making untamed and biting ordinary humans. However, the bite has a weaker infection each time. Their body temperatures are slightly higher than a human. Genetic werewolves can transform at will, but inadvertently turn during the new moon like bitten ones. Their abilities include transformation into a wolf and heightened senses.
Elementals – Although they look human, they are trusted with the four elements: fire, water, air and earth. Unlike the other races, their existences are unheard of and are regarded as empowered mortals instead. However, despite this, they choose to keep their true race a secret. The element they represent is indicated by their eye colour and personality, according to whichever one they are in possession of and guard.
Demons – Like psychics, they are rare to find. They were created by Lucifer when he was cast down to Hell, with Lilith as his first demon. After demons wreaked havoc over Tehera for control of the town and the gateway to Hell, the minority approached the humans to strike up the Treaty that would alert them to all supernatural existences and create peace. Demons appear human, but have abilities such as mind control and super strength depending on their level.
Angels – The rarest of all races. Angels have never been seen on Tehera, but the legend goes that they convinced the minority of demons to strike up the Treaty with the other races. Created by God, angels have watched over humanity for thousands of years. They also maintain authority over Heaven and act as the messengers of God. Angels use humans as vessels on Earth, but need consent to do so. Their abilities are seemingly limitless, such as teleportation and resurrection.

Rules
No powerplaying. It is strictly against the rule to take control of another person’s character(s) without permission.
No godmodding. Being stronger than everyone else isn’t fun and ruins the fun. However, this may be altered for available roles.
No metagaming. Telling everyone else what is about to happen, again, spoils everything and the surprises just aren’t there anymore.
No complaining. You’ve come here to have fun, right? Complaining about the one little thing or being paranoid is just being silly.
No killing. Now that’s not to say it’s not allowed, but don’t do it without permission. It’s nice to see a tragic death. Make it legal.
Roles are available. You don’t necessarily have to make an original character. If you want a role available below, send me a PM.
IC (In Character) and OOC (Out Of Character) are allowed in the main thread. But please try to keep the chit chat to a minimum.
Literacy is a must. However, it doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to be understandable enough for others to read or reply to your post.
More than one character is allowed. Try not to go too overboard with having so many characters that you lose track of what they’re doing.
Keep questions to the discussion thread. It’s just to keep the main thread tidy and to also answer questions others might wanna know.
Available Roles
This will be updated, as the RP progresses along. PM me to get these roles; these may play a significant part in the story.
Characters
Lilith – The first human turned into a demon by Lucifer as an act against God after he was expelled from Heaven. She has an affinity for possessing young girls, then tormenting and killing her family. Lilith likes to drink the blood of newborn babies. Her reasons for coming to Tehera are unknown, but the last gateway to Hell being there may have something to do with it.
